Verified with Microsoft Edge 152.0.4191.53 — updated on July 10, 2026
Supported on: Microsoft Edge version 146, Windows 7 or later
Path in the GPO console
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge Description
Configures whether the CSS "zoom" property follows the current CSS specification or legacy behavior. When this policy is enabled or not configured, the CSS "zoom" property follows the current specification defined by the CSS Working Group: https://drafts.csswg.org/css-viewport/#zoom-property When this policy is disabled, the CSS "zoom" property uses its legacy, pre-standardized behavior. This policy is temporary and is intended to provide time for organizations to migrate web content to the updated behavior. In a future Microsoft Edge release, this policy will be removed and the standardized behavior will be enforced by default.
Registry
Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge Value name: StandardizedBrowserZoomEnabled
Enabled: StandardizedBrowserZoomEnabled = 1
Disabled: StandardizedBrowserZoomEnabled = 0
Export Builder
BETAConfigure the state, scope and options, then generate .reg, PowerShell, Intune and SCCM outputs — or add the setting to a multi-setting collection.
These exports write the registry — this is not a managed GPO. ⓘ
Applying both scopes creates an ambiguous configuration (computer takes precedence over user). Only do this intentionally.
